what is graphic design? - typography
craig ward great use of protractors to create the type face it links really well with the content of the poster. craig ward an interesting type face using what seems to be hair.although the typeface that is created from is very effective.
si scott fluid text and really effective. 
PMKFA Michael Thorsby produces some nice work under the enigmatic moniker PMKFA 
craig ward - words are pictures which in this case it is true the face is completely created only using letters. it works really well and this piece was used for waterstones book store. what is graphic design?- photography
ian stevenson i like the use of toys used within his photography fun and quirky imagery. sleeve face.com interesting use of vinyl covers this really is a new meaning to what one is used for.however the compositions work really well and the heads on the vinyl covers seem to fit really well to figures within the photos. 
eye candy by anne de vries theres sooo much colour within this photo which is great it almost creates this sense of oozing garbage, but with the colour from the packaging.really attractive to the eye and definitely fits its title 'eye candy' 
lost by david shrigley i like the simplicity of this piece but this is unmistakably a shrigley piece what with the hand written type and quirky text.but as a photo it really works and it would definitely make you stop and read the notice. 
sarah kane - interesting composition not quite sure what is going but it does really capture a moment in the night. what is graphic design-type
Craig Ward:illustrator/typographer.created for a new york magazine letter press - the effect gained from using such a process is really effective. 
Get London Reading:a campaign by the book trust.the extracts from the books appear on pavements, windows and rubbish as though the words have fallen from a book. good device of spreading the word around london. what is graphic design-packaging
Hannah Waldron:a series of envelopes and letter paper in the shape of hearts, clouds and kites. once received the envelopes unfold to form letter paper so that the receiver can write/draw back to the sender. i like the idea behind this piece its really interactive between its users.and the feedback that would be returned to you would be really interesting. 
Sue Doeksen:Game and Prize. really interactive piece of graphics for the viewer and the added freebie is always a bonus!!! 
Ciara Phelan: t-shirt project in response to global warming, pomoting hand-washing over hot washing. the inks used to print the trees will fade if washed at 40, but remain when washed by hand.clever device!!! the inks used for this piece is really innovative and clearly addresses the issue of global warming. what is graphic design.illustration
Blisters on my fingers!!! advertising leaflet call out for any illustrators out there to get involved in an event!!!llike the bit of humour with the plasters on the fingers and the handwritten font make the leaflet seem abit more personal. 
if you could do anything tomorrow- what would it be??? this piece is by kate moross and she illustrated 'i would run away to new york!!!' i think the limited use of colour works really well and the image is engaging to its viewer!!! 
Ryan Todd: office stationary using object that are found in the office environment, exploring how the addition of words to a drawing can completely change the way you interpret and understand the image. by humanizing the objects and relating it to their personalities.what is graphic design.
Let's make something!peter blake collaboration with rachel craddock. this stencil became a series of 3 t-shirts surrounding the theme of creativity. nice clean graphics and everyone can relate to these objects. 
another image by peter blake. screen printed/2 layers. first layer is in black ink and describes what would happen if he never had any motivation then another layer is added over the top of this and says the opposite. describing what he has achieved etc....the gloss layer is invisible unless it catches the light, which is metaphor for the endeavor to see our dreams become reality.i like this piece and is so true to life!!! 
yet another image from peter blake i like the use type from the punched holes from the paper. simple device but is really effective. what is graphic design-illustration.

What is Graphic Design.
Initiated by Lazy Oaf, the concept of Pimp My Pump is pretty straightforward: The girls at Lazy Oaf approached a host of illustrators whose work they admire and asked them to customise a pair of plain pumps. Simple - and the results are invariable jolly, bright, colourful, one-off artworks by the likes of Al Heighton, Kate Moross, Ian Stevenson, Kate Sutton, Peskimo, Super Super - and many more contributors. We’ve had a look at some of the pumps and have picked out some of our favourites.
